New York Jets SS Dawan Landry's teammates have begun calling him "The Mentor" this season because he has taken the team's young defensive backs under his wing and has been the one constant in an injury-plagued secondary.

New York Jets S Calvin Pryor and SS Dawan Landry are projected as the team's starters, according to Darryl Slater of The Star-Ledger. Slater believes head coach Rex Ryan will want Landry to serve as a veteran presence alongside Pryor.
